Product Information
Full details
The TRIXIE Ceramic House is designed for small animal owners, particularly those with Syrian hamsters and similarly sized rodents, who want a durable, hygienic shelter that helps regulate their pet's body temperature. Its primary benefit is its ability to stay cool on warm days, providing a soothing environment for your pet to rest; however, it is a static, non-chewable structure that requires careful placement to prevent it from sliding on cage floors.

FAQs
Is this house safe for Syrian hamsters?
Yes, the dimensions and 7 cm opening are specifically sized to accommodate Syrian hamsters comfortably.
Can I wash this in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand wash the ceramic house with warm water and mild, non-toxic soap to prevent cracking or chipping.
Does the house get cold?
The ceramic material is cool to the touch and helps dissipate heat, providing a refreshing spot for your pet on warm days.
Is the material chew-proof?
Ceramic is much more resistant to chewing than wood or plastic, making it a durable option for rodents who enjoy gnawing.
How do I ensure my pet is safe inside?
Always ensure the house is placed on a stable surface and that the roof is properly seated on the base.
Troubleshooting
Pet refuses to go inside
Try placing some of your pet's favorite nesting material or treats inside to encourage them to explore the new space.
House keeps moving in the cage
Place the house directly on the base of the cage rather than on deep, loose bedding to create a more stable foundation.
Roof is difficult to remove
Ensure no bedding is stuck in the rim where the roof meets the house; clean any debris from the edges to ensure a smooth fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the TRIXIE Ceramic House is straightforward. Ensure it is placed on a level surface within your animal's enclosure to prevent wobbling. While it is heavy enough to remain stable, check that it is not placed too close to the edge of an elevated platform to avoid accidental falls. For care, lift the roof once a week to remove any stored food or debris. If the house becomes soiled, use warm water and mild, non-toxic soap to clean it, ensuring it is completely dry before returning it to the cage. This product is intended for small rodents and meets animal welfare standards for shelter under Section 18 (AT).
